Dan Lee Military Race
The Dan Lee Military Race is a memorial event centred on a 10 mile course over fast but hilly mixed terrain. The route covers quiet roads, farm tracks and moorland, with a total ascent of 1,447 ft.
The event is open to both runners and weighted TAB entrants, with separate categories for each. The military-style TAB requires a 35 lb pack and ankle boots. Minimum kit requirements are set according to weather on the day and will be communicated at registration; they may include waterproofs, hat, gloves, a long-sleeved base layer, a suitable bag and emergency food.
Established in 2023 in memory of Dan Lee, the race is organised as a non-profit. All profits will be donated to Broughton House Veterans Care Village and The Fire Fighters Charity, with a small percentage retained to support and grow future events. The event takes place at Delph Cricket Club on Huddesfield Road.
The organiser notes that specific kit requirements and race-day safety information will be provided before or at registration and that participants should prepare for variable weather conditions on the moorland sections. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
